[quote=Anonymous]I was on opioids following spinal surgery for 5 days (given through IV). Never once did I feel high. On day 6 they switched me to an oral dose of a non-opioid pain med. A few hours later I called the nurse, convinced I was having a heart attack, based on my symptoms (chest pain, labored breathing, profuse sweating, intense nausea). She told me no, it was withdrawal. I was floored that it only took five days to be in that state, and I completely understand someone doing anything to avoid feeling like that. If I hadn’t been in the hospital, I’m not sure how I would’ve handled the situation. [/quote]
